Stop Israeli impunity for illegal actions against Palestinians, says Caabu delegate Kim Leadbeater

Recent Caabu delegate Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, who visited the occupied Palestinian territory on a Caabu/Medical Aid for Palestinians and Balfour Project delegation in February 2023 () spoke at Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Questions, highlighting her visit, calling on the UK to stop Israeli impunity for illegal actions against Palestinians. She said: I recently visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and what I saw made a deep and lasting impression on me. Does the Minister agree with me and with former Israeli ambassador Ilan Baruch, whom I met yesterday, that the UK and others must stop giving Israel impunity for its illegal actions under international law and again become serious and active players for peace? The Foreign Secretary James Cleverly responded: I assure the hon. Lady that we want nothing more than peace in that region. I have visited the OPTs and have met representatives of the Palestinian Authority and Israelis. Of course, it is in everybody’s interest that we have peace in the region: it is in the interests both of Israelis and Palestinians and of the wider region. That will continue to be at the heart of UK foreign policy in the region.
